669719 - the <math/> element does not support the displaystyle attribute

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: MathML, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Wang (:fredw)]

In bug 569124, we allowed the <math/> element to behave as a <mstyle/>. The displaystyle attribute, handled in the nsMathMLmstyleFrame, was however not taken into account in this change.

A possible fix: in nsMathMLFrame::GetPresentationDataFrom, after setting aPresentationData.flags according to display->mDisplay, we can add a call to nsMathMLFrame::FindAttrDisplaystyle, so that we will look to a possible displaystyle attribute on the <math/> element.

See the testcase, which can easily be converted into a == reftest.

I forgot to attach a testcase. The idea was simply to compare

<math displaystyle="true">
  ...
</math>

and

<math>
  <mstyle displaystyle="true">
    ...
  </mstyle>
</math>

where ... are elements rendered differently in displaystyle = true/false

We need to update nsMathMLFrame::FindAttrDisplaystyle, now that <math/> is allowed to have the displaystyle attribute:

I ran the crashtests with a debug build. The only failing test I have is

parser/htmlparser/tests/crashtests/445171-1.html

but that does not seem related to this patch.
